Nothing Is More Powerful Than Love

I am seated in a bed-like rock
Under the foothills this is a single block

The Sun rises behind my back
Though I face hills in the west, its rise I could track

The dawn delightfully unfurl
Mother nature decorates herself, like a girl

The valley is full of greenery
This is a soul soothing summer scenery

Flies are flying in group
With joy and strength, to recoup

Honey bees are busy flying from one to other flower
A fresh flower spreads the fragrance in the air

A group of sparrows fly at a low height
Jubilantly enjoying the new light 

A tiniest sparrow dances by jumping from one leaf to the other of a plant
On seeing this, I too wish to jump out of joy, like an infant

Peacocks register their scream from a nearby place
I could hear well, as this area is ruled by peace

From a distant rock, a pair of peacock looks
Displaying the richest colors of their outlooks

Birds potentially program their offspring by singing to their eggs, at a short distance  
One may think that they raise the voice with a grievance

Before me, a rabbit runs ruthlessly
Forgetting self, I sit here like lifelessly

Fight of monkeys upon trees on the top of the hill, comes like a melody
Free for all, as the whole range is under His custody

Clouds try to attract my attention with an array of colors
Peace as the Prince on the stage, countless others are actors

Breeze blows as if to say she is the most adorable among all
Of course, choosing the one among all is hard to tell

This is a mind moving morning
In my life, this day is a fine inning

My heart desires to lie under this foothill
But my soul is not full

as my mind yearns for my love
Of course, this place is like a paradise, as above

If I am to cherish my love even in a paradise, 
the power of  love, you may be pleased to praise

Though I stay away at a far off place
The feelings of romance runs like a race

To live here, to the God, I shall be abundantly faithful
But to conquer my soul, other than such love, nothing is more powerful !

Lungs of the Earth

You spoil the air by burning fossil fuel
By absorbing odors, trees help to level

You inhale fresh air
To this, trees provide a lions’ share

You exhale exhaust of the body
Which the trees take into custody

Trees inhale the pollutant
And exhale oxygen that you want

Every life lives with the breath
Mother Earth also follows this path

Human lungs that do this are worth
Trees do this, as lungs of the Earth!

From Form To Formless

Each form is a form of His form
Both form and formless are His norm
He chooses form as well formless, to get you to reform
He yields to a form even when a form gets deform

With such creation of forms, He does perform
With such ease, one may design Him in free-form
With various forms, He upholds a message to inform
With all such forms, His form is uniform

He is the only One to have the omniform
Though He is also of multiform
To realize Him, all religions are platform
Fact can be realized with a brainstorm

He cares for each being, even smaller than a tiny worm
To drive you towards formless, He takes form like cruciform
He is the form of formless, ultimately one may conform
From form to formless is the ultimate, one may transform!


NOTES: the state or quality of having every form. — omniform, adj.
Characterized by an unconventional or variable form: their own freeform teaching methods.

Cruciform = Shaped like a cross; cruciate.

The Judge of the Universe

God is the cardinal creator
He is the generous giver
He can rise a dead to life, being the grantor
He can create a thing that existed never

He gave what you have
He knows whatever you know
Your deeds drive Him to decide what to give
As you deserve, He does sow

From you, He has nothing to get
He may test you before giving
To test your devotion, test He may set
To adjudge your faith and to ordain your living

Divine dream driven to sacrifice his dearest son
Candid command relates, not to a materialistic thing
One that can’t be a supplant or substitute being beyond season
Rather very well one, from his own being

Being the one and only son,
who was born of the Spirit, by the will of God
for a centenarian father, with a divine reason
as Abraham always adored Allah, for the overall good

Yet his faith on God as the Judge of the universe, was not weaken
Nor he took it as the biggest bitter pill to swallow
His trust over Allah was not shaken
Bewildering but bemused Abraham chose his dream to follow

His wife too accepted the sacrifice, with pleasure
She knows him as a man of noble character and an ‘apostle of Allah’ 
He was obedient to Allah and upright by nature
He never knows then, he too shall stay in history as messiah

Farewell kiss in the forehead of son, she gave
Son too set forward amusingly unto the altar
Execution was about to happen but Allah intervened to save
To proclaim the faith of Abraham as an ever shining star

This a terrific trial to test the deepness of devotion
Act of Abraham is an exemplary example of selfless surrender
Upholds the unity and understanding of a family, with a mention
Obedience to God opens gates of riches, grace, kindness and wonder!

His firm faith is famed as the holy ‘Muslim festival of sacrifice’ 
Eid-ul-Adha ever confirms that God unfailingly rewards those who do right
Faithful obedience to God like Hazrat Abraham, is suffice! 
Even in dark and dungeon, God shall give you then, hope and sight!!

I Adore Your Body Odor

The whole path to home was filled with incense                                                                                            It has indulged my every sense

It has hit my senses to rose                                                                                                                              It was not the fragrance of the rose

It was not the smell of lavender                                                                                                                          Nor the scintillating smell of sandal powder!

On the way I found no flower                                                                                                                         Rather not found any blower!

It remained firmly along the way,                                                                                                                             As you had just walked away!

Ultimately I saw you, as splendor                                                                                                            Objectively, I adore your body odor!

Bird of Romance

She was not a virgin
But with beauty, she did reign
She was already married
But she arose to be adored
She was a widow 
Her beauty and pride did glow
Borne already two children
But with second love, she was barren
To her lover, she was also older 
But at first sight, the eyes of the Emperor became brighter 
On just a gaze itself, he couldn't resist
As her beauty penetrated to profoundly persist
When love had come
She wheedled with welcome
With intense ignition she bowled
With fire of love, his blood became boiled
Love comes all at once!
Duo drowned deep in love, thence!!
The balance tilted in her favor 
Triggered was the mighty Emperor's valor
He too was handsome
His love story was awesome!
Her beauty propelled her to become empress
Valor and victory he enjoyed with her were endless
He loved her to the point of madness
As he was terribly tempted by her cuteness
He held her like a treasure
With her alone, he got true pleasure!
His family felt her as the flawed company
But he resisted and held her as the honey
Though the Emperor was gloriously grand
He won with wedlock too, to hold her hand
She was the constant object of his thought
As she alone drove him to new heights of delight
She ruled his heart and soul
She continued to reign his life joyful
Her love was what he ever upheld
Even in the midst of every battlefield
She kept the flame of love burning
From the beginning unto his mourning!
Entire Europe was under his rule
But he found her alone as the sole
Endless authority over entire Europe he enjoyed
But without her, world appeared for him as void!
For the sake of an heir, she was divorced
Yet, he continued to remain as if seduced
Such amount of true love, none could address 
Her flag flown high as the ever enticing empress
She is adored as the most seductive woman
Her name and fame is known even to a layman
His heart ever yearned only for her alliance
Yes! Josephine was more than a bird of romance!
His love remained with the same wavelength 
Even with old age, when he lacked physical strength
His love for her stood as unflawed
Even when death had shadowed
History kissed him with pages of a mighty era
Just his name alone enough, no need to say extra!
Love embraces leaders and Generals too!!
His true love was alive even after the Waterloo!!!
Napoleon Bonaparte remains forever with worldwide fame!
Honoring the true love, he pronounced last, only her name!!
Thus even an Emperor will be bound, if you are a loving wife!!!
His love story confirms this as the cardinal message of his life!!!!

I Drunk the Sea

Glittering was the evening Sun’s face                                                                                                                          Glided down unto the level of my surface 

Wobbled were the waves of the ocean                                                                                                                         Rays reflected by the waves, for a reason

Water level was on the declining trend                                                                                                                    Enticing beauty of the scene was grand 

Decline of water was at a high pace                                                                                                            I could gaze the clear view of the space

Eventually exterminated was the sea,                                                                                                            In a short time you may take for a tea!

Sacredly sailing was the setting Sun                                                                                                          Though the whole drama indeed, is a fun, 

As the emptied water was packed in a bottle                                                                                               And as if I drunk the sea, in a magic battle!

Bird of Love and Loyalty

Stork flights in unison                                                                                                                                               To teach unity to every person

Holding the neck extended                                                                                                                              Aligning the body as if amended

With legs pushed behind                                                                                                                            To cope with blowing wind

With wide wingspan like the glider                                                                                                                         In a well-defined order

Hover with one, as leader                                                                                                                                        Of course, watching is a wonder

With the flame of foresight,                                                                                                                                     Stork sets own nest on height 

Bears young ones into the wing                                                                                              Benevolently while growing

With wings, provides shade to the young chick                                                                                                                    So that they could learn to pick

Causes to clatter to communicate                                                                                                                 About the impending threat, to indicate

Maintains link with the group                                                                                                                    To get the team spirit, recoup

Revisits the old-aged-mother                                                                                                                                 To attend to issues that may bother

Cares the mother, with fresh feed                                                                                                                           As the mother may need

Stork is a bird of highest spirituality          
In Hebrew, stork means love and loyalty!

Sat To Chat

At the end of the elated visit
Around the mind moving marble mausoleum -Taj Mahal
I was unconvinced to leave and got a place to sit
As excited to enjoy the environment, withal

It was the inside on the right, near the main entrance 
Just before the famous ‘visitors bench’
from where visitors pose, with faces full of romance
As a monumental memory, though the fire won’t quench 

I was seated at a comfortable distance
To watch this mankind’s magnificent marble marvel
My mind churned the charm, inch by inch
With visitors from the entire globe, lining after a long travel

Of all colors, gathering was the crowd of tourist 
With dressing styles that were, to this land, new 
My emotions of excitement, I could not resist
Their expression of ecstatic too, none knew

Flocking was also the beeline of photographers 
With the face of everyone, full of excitement
Earnestly everyone was immersed, as none bothers
None can forget in life, this joyful moment

Distracted my ‘dream-like-reality’ was an eagle
He was flying low, short rounds over the main dome
Over his unusual behavior, into me, I did giggle
He returned after two short rounds, as it was awesome

He now flied directly to the Finial – Islamic moon symbol atop 
He sat over the Finial, as if he came to chat with me 
A new relationship between us began to develop
I enormously enjoyed this ecstatic and wondered to watch the game

Joy or grief never lasts for longer
As he could not sit there comfortably 
As the edges seems sharper and stronger 
My friend was forced to fly away, inevitably

This play of this eagle, perhaps I only noticed
Perhaps only towards me, He sat to chat
Taj as universal ‘symbol of love’ is highly placed  
The joy of watching the eagle too, a tantalizing treat!

Paradise On Earth

The Sun shines as gold, down the west                                                                                           Full moon is on the move, to rise in the east

When one gets to set,
The other begins to get

Birds are settling, into the nest                                                                                        Courteous caress of the breeze, is the best!

Sky is colorfully painted                                                                                                                       Many themes, this has hinted!

Stars are peeping up to glow                                                                                               Passage of time, added to their flow!

Strained soul sets to solace                                                                                                     Stirred senses, suggests the romance!

I desire here, forever to stay                                                                                                               As the mind fails, words to say!

When the lap of my love is lent as berth,                                                                                This place becomes, a paradise on earth!
